MR98 Series Installation ! Warning Personal injury or system damage may result if this backpressure regulator, relief or differential relief valve is installed where service conditions could exceed the limits given on the Specifications section and/or regulator nameplate. Additionally, physical damage to the backpressure regulator or relief valve may result in personal injury or property damage due to escaping of accumulated gas.
MR98 Series Table 4.
MR98 Series If remote venting is necessary, an optional tapped vent in the spring case is available. Install remote vent lines in the spring case and outlet openings. The vent lines must have the largest practical diameter and be as short as possible with a minimum number of bends or elbows. Install the vent line according to applicable federal, state and local codes and regulations. Types MR98L, MR98H and MR98HH 1. Loosen the jam nut (key 17, Figures 4, 6, 7 and 10). 2.

Slowly open the downstream vent valve to vent downstream pressure. 5.
MR98 Series 1. Shut down the relief valve or backpressure regulator. Refer to Shutdown section for the proper procedure. 2. Retighten the cap screws (key 16) in a crisscross pattern. See Table 6 for proper torque values. 3. Follow the Startup section to repressurize the relief valve or backpressure regulator. 4. Refer to the Disassembly to Replace Diaphragm and Seats section as needed. Disassembly to Replace Diaphragm and Seats Caution Metal diaphragms have thin sharp edges.
MR98 Series 10. Slip the lower spring seat (key 8) and lock washer (key 28) back onto the pusher post (key 10). Lubricate the threads of the pusher post and tighten the pusher post lock nut (key 31) until the lock washer is flat and then turn the nut an additional 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Return the diaphragm (key 12), spring seat and pusher post assembly to the body (key 1). 11. Set the relief valve spring (key 11) in the lower spring seat and place the upper spring seat (key 9) on the spring. 12.
